Comment 4 for bug 1245206

honza/vim-snippets is a separate repository with the same roots (snipMate snippets basically). snipMate did not specify a license when I got the snippets from there.

To use a tool you need a MIT license? That seems broken, you are not reusing any code.

The engine is GPL now which is fair to the contributors (you can just not check it into your internal repositories I think). The snippets are public domain as far as I am concerned - MIT license is covered with this too. I do not know how to make this clear in the license file though. If you wip together a pull request making this distinction clear, I'll gladly merge it.

What place are you working at? It seems wrong to forbid simply using tools that are not BSD/MIT licensed.
